A Hog Story.

A correspondent of the Santa Rosa Dem
ocrat tells the following:
noticed in your paper a few weeks ago
a well-written article on "hogs and pork"
1t brought to my mind an incident which
l had almost forgotten, and which think
will be of interest to your hOg-raising read
ers. Not long ago l had occasion, in the
course of my business, TO visit a friend in
the dairy country near the coast. In the
course of our conversation upon topics in
teresting to the farmer he informed me
that friend and neighbor of his was ex-
perimenting with his hogs and trying to
raise new breed which he was pleased to
term laughing hogs. was much surprised
at this and expressed a desire to interview
his neighbor with the peculiar ideas about
hogs. Accordingly we started for the
friends house, and as luck would have it,
found him leaning over the fence, and
peering with rapt attention into the pig
sty. The porkers confined IN the pen were
as fine lot as / had ever seen, and well
| worthy a farmers OF packers admiration.
"Yes," said he, ~ am trying TO originate
| a new breed of hogs, and l must
say | have succeeded so far beyond my
most sanguine expectations. l have al
WAYS had an idea that the hog was suscep-
tible of wonderful improvement. With
| this idea, together with the low price of
| pork in view, l made up my mind to try
and raise a hog that would not take as
| much food to fatten. l have adopted the
old maxim for my principle and theory,
Laugh and grow fat And with this he
jumped into the pen and said that he would
| illustrate his method. He commenced
| scratching the ribs of one of the largest
| hogs, and soon the animal laid down upon
! its back and opened its mouth and actually
smiled and grunted. Now" said he,
svou see my theory, and in time expect
| to make porker that size laugh right out
loud, and grow fat in consequence at the
rate of five pounds day, on half the feed
| ing that it requires now" The above is
| an actual fact, and the enthusiastic farmer
! is still hard at work on his system O hog
fattening.

Keen Your Blood Pure

Impure blood, however generated, is al.
ways present in the body when pain is felt
il spreads and ferments wherever weak
spot exists.
Take Brandreth's Pills to make the blood
pure and expel all that is hurtful to the sys-
tenn. They are the one great and unfailing
remedy. They cleanse the bowels and re-
store equal circulation throughout the
body. They preserve the vigor of youth
and often save life.
BARBERs.-The BARRIERS among the Greeks
and Romans cut and dressed The hair.
shaved the beard, pared the nails and
pulled out the stray hairs with their tweez-
ers. Wealthy persons kept barber in
their own houses amongst their slaves,
but the people at large had recourse to the
BARRIERS shop. The Roman rarely shaved
himself, at least after the year B. C. Asa
when the first barber was introduced from
Sicily. Previous to that period the haii
and beard were worn long.

emplify the teachings.

THE San Francisco Examiner, in urging
the adoption of the ordinance to prohibit
the playing of the games known as ''hokey-
pokey" and "stud horse poker and which
the Board of Supervisors adopted on Mon
day evening, said:
The Board of Supervisors would not hesitate
to expel leper who threatened their sons with
the contagion of his loathsome disease But the
leper would only affiict their bodies. This
snare, however, which the sharper has laid for
youth and innocence, poisons the mind, coz
teammates the honor and destroys the manhood
of the youth of the community. For the Board
of Supervisors to tolerate it is TOR those intrusted
with the lawmaking power of the city to offer
a premium for dishonesty, debauchery and
| every other grade of immortality and vice.
And these remarks will apply to all
gambling games it is proposed the present
Legislature shall legalize to the extent Of
permitting municipalities to license them
If the Erdminer, which has courageously
advocated the anti" hokey-pokey" ordi
nance and now rejoices over its adoption
would only make its preaching and prac
tice conform, it would accomplish still
further good. While it condemns the
games named and the percentage of which
must absorb all the capital pitted agains
them, it advertises lotteries which ere
equally nefarious, and, to use its own Ian
guage, "poison the mind, contaminate the
honor and destroys the manhood of the
youth of the community"

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The debate in the Senate yesterday on Gu
MES insurance bill was probably the most in
teresting that has taken. place during the SEES
sion, and the lobby was filled with spectators
while Senators Clunie, Wilson and Gesford had
the floor. At times each of these gentlemen
became really eloquent, and the trio were
highly complimented on their oratory.
In the Senate yesterday Mr. Goucher read the

A HINT TO THE GIRLS.
Why the Young Men Don't Take Them to
the Theater.

Young women like to go the theater, as
well as young men, but they have not the
same opportunities to do so. They cannot
90 alone, and it is awkward to ask their
gentlemen friends to take them. Now, it
happens that the young men like to take
the young women to the theater, quite as
we'll as the latter like to go. They enjoy
their company, as it is eminently proper
that they should, and it is good thing all
around that they should go together The
Entertainments of fashion, however have
of late years initiated against the land
able ambition of many young fell
low to take his girl to the show.
One evenings pleasure of this kind too
frequently involves the integral part
of a whole weeks salary, and man now
must have something left for incidentals
like board and clothing. To take young
lady to the theater nowadays in what is re-
garded proper style costs anywhere from So
to SIS. The price of the tickets has come
to be the smallest item of the investment,
and it dwindles into insignifcance along
side of the price of midwinter bunch of
cuttroses, to say nothing of carriage or
sleigh hire and a supper to wind up the
evening. AS long as these collateral luxu-
ries are expected most young men will of
necessity be obliged to forego the pleasure
of taking their young lady friends to the
theater.
1t is entirely safe to affirm that large
majority of girls. and fashionable girls, too,
are willing to go to the theater with a
friend without flowers, carriages, sleighs or
suppers. If the evening is unpleasant, or
the distance to the playhouse too far for
the romantic enjoyment of a moonlight
walk, they are willing to accept some gen.
tlapnar'e Saat II, croU1ad n1abaiap ctraot
car. Young women who are willing to
make these concessions can bring the young
men to time in this as in most
other matters, if they will go about it in the
right way. As it is, the young men are
afraid to assume that the girls will go un-
der these democratic conditions. They
are, moreover, too proud to go in
less style than their neighbors.
The only thing to do, therefore,
is to make a very radical change
in the fashion, and this only the
girls can do One way of getting at it would
be for young ladies to organize anti-hower-
carriage-and. supper theater clubs, whose
constitutions, written or unwritten, should
provide for the prompt expulsion of
any member who will even accept of
the interdicted luxuries. These circles
or societies should then see to it
that their revolutionary doctrines are thor
oughly disseminated. The native tact of
the fair sex will enable them to accomplish
this with insinuating grace, and will doubt
less suggest other felicitous expedients in
bringing about this reform. Some such ex-
pertinent is certainly worth trying by that
large contingent of sensible girls who
would prefer to go to the theater once or
twice week without extras. to once or
twice year with extras.-Bufalo Courier.
